Winter Veg

Winter Veg

We tend to get stuck in a loop with vegetables for some reason. Peas, Red Cabbage and spuds seem to have become our “Go-To” choice recently. So we thought we’d have a bit of a change yesterday. Although the Spuds are still there….

Because of the global supply network, be it a good or (more probably) bad thing the majority of regularly used vegetables are available all year round in the supermarkets and local retailers. But if you buy seasonal veg you will notice that they tend to be UK grown more often than not. This has to be a good thing surely?

So last nights veg was:-

Boiled Cabbage
Roast Parsnips
Roast Potatoes
Cauliflower

All UK grown and with a bit of slow roast Pork shoulder and home made gravy it was a meal your granny would have been proud of on a very cost effective budget.

Southern style Battered Chicken Wraps

This sliced Chicken breast was the princely sum of £1.49 for 500g in my favourite discount fridge. But not all things are what they appear. It was very thinly sliced and a bit raggedy looking really. Not a problem - batter it!

We did have a few Gluten free Breadcrumbs in the fridge but not quite enough, so improvisation was required…..

Batter ingredients:-

2 Eggs, whisked
Breakcrumbs (Gluten free for us)
2 bags of Crisps, bashed about to within seconds of their lives! (Flavour of your choice)
Plain Flour (Gluten free for us)
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Turmeric (For colour)
Cornflour, for dredging

Method:-

(1) Mix the batter ingredients.
(2) Cut the Chicken into suitable sized pieces.
(3) Dredge in the Cornflour.
(4) Coat in the batter mix.
(5) Fry in small batches and drain on kitchen paper.

We used a little salad in the wraps and Mayonnaise. Served with the remaining salad, home made Coleslaw and hand cut chips this was actually quite a filling and quick meal.
